DESCRIPTION:Visible light is the most pervasive feature of the observable 
 Universe to humans\, so its explanation has assumed a pre-eminent role in 
 our attempts to understand the physical world around us.\n\nThis conferenc
 e will start with an examination of light and its properties with the form
 ulation of the classical theory of optics by Newton\, Huygens and others\,
  and then move on to the theory of colours which involved not only natural
  philosophers\, but artists and writers.\n\nThe understanding of electrici
 ty and magnetism in the 19th century led ultimately to the formulation of 
 the electromagnetic theory of light summarised in Maxwell's equations whic
 h underpin the vast range of technologies still in daily use. In the 20th 
 century\, the role of the speed of light became very important in relativi
 ty and quantum theory.\n\nThe conference will examine the steps in our und
 erstanding of light to illuminate its history in our culture and in the te
 chnological developments over the past few decades.\n\nMore information an
